Twentieth-century English History Plays by Niloufer Harben, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters in Brampton, ON

The history play is an extremely popular genre among English playwrights of this century, yet very little research has been done in the field. In particular, the sheer size and complexity of the subject appears to have prevented critics from attempting to arrive at a clear definition of the genre. This book examines the term 'history play' afresh, seeking to define more precisely the scope and the limits of the genre in relation to twentieth-century ideas of and attitudes to history. | Twentieth-century English History Plays by Niloufer Harben, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
